rallying some on Sunday, was
worse again on Monday and died

Centralia won for him host of
friends who admired him for his
sterling worth and character. He
was favorably known throughout

terms a member Of the Board
where his experience and wise
counsels were often sought. He
held the highest office in the gift
Of the city-that of Mayor-for
several terms, and always give the
best Of satisfaction. He was pecu-
liar in his ways but most always
found on the right side of all
questions.

and ran it some seven years; then
sold it to Tim Hurry. In 1861,
bought the Whitney mill, on the
Centralia side of the river, and
erected the first shingle and plan
ing mill in this place, if not on the
Wisconsin River. Sold out the
planning mill in 1880. Mr.. L. was
one of the incorporators of the

Tho only notable event Of tho week
was the snacch of Gen. Waiihall st

was rot the purpose Of his visit TO adj

tio3s Of the citizens generally, he con

intelligent an audience Of ladies ana
gentlemen as tan be found in til,
state, lie opened his speech with i
mjdcst end appropriate aiIusiou t,
himsc,! and the circumstances whict
placed him IN the position he occupies.
Tho characteristic Of this portion oil
his address was lis tot. ihsenCc OF
scli.laGdati0n. His review Of the con.
dition OF cur S.ato was assuring sn0
his admouition 70 tie Democracy to
maintain .hcir organization intact 30
porpetuatc that condition, was hearth
iy %applgudcd. Passing tronI State
matters 10 briefly reviewed the ad.
miu.straiion OF President Cleveland,
aod paid ono OF the finest tributes to
his character, We have ever heard. In
speaking OF the condition of the South
and its present progress towards
! prosperity, lie showed clearly the fol-
ly Of comparing our situation with
that before the war and under other
conditions, and suggested tho better
comparison Of the difference between
that situation and the ten years Of rad
ical rule over the PROSTATE South from
which we are happily freed.
His fine culogium OH Gen. Lee called
forth a burst Of applause.
There is one feature OF Gen. Wal.
thall's speech We cannot pass over
without a brief comment, that is the
broad s,atesman!ikc manner in which
he treated the complaints against the
President for his alleged slowness in
turning the rascals out He charac-
terizcd this as a trivial matter compar-
ed with the immense benefits bis adj.
ministration has conferred on the
whole COUNTY,. We would like to c.
Elaborate this subject, but mrst defer it
for u time, aud make it the subject Of
a separate article.
The want OF space torbids a further
analysis of his speech, and we can on.
" add that the unity OF our people in
demanding his reelection TO the u. ).
iScnate remains mistaken.
